2024 Crannell Pinot Noir

"A pretty ruby hue opens into lifted aromatics of red fruit, fresh herbs, and high-toned florals, grounded by a touch of potting soil earthiness. The palate is well framed, with bright acidity and a long finish, supported by a balanced interplay of tannin, oak, and fruit. There’s a slight bitterness on the back end and a hint of reduction, alongside notes of orange peel and a subtle flinty edge. Layers of dark cherry, chalky minerality, dried herbs, and lavender carry through, with crunchy tannins and vibrant acidity lingering. A staff favorite, and it’s easy to see why."

“Drinking wine from a vineyard that has been through seven U.S. presidential administrations is humbling. Bursting with bright red fruits, orange citrus, touch of flint, and a dash of baking spice on the finish. Every vintage I look forward to Crannell and every vintage I’m reminded why. These wines are regal, historic, and a force of nature.”

"This wine opens with a striking aromatic profile of flinty minerality, white flowers, and vibrant red dragon fruit accented by fresh raspberry notes. The palate deepens into layers of blackberry, plum, raspberry, and ripe cherry, offering both richness and brightness. High acidity and medium tannins provide body with a lively, polished finish."
